Rule of Thirds!
Covered some basic Composition rules today!
Click here to watch! Click ‘On-Demand’ then the Nov 19 2009 video!
Also heres an easier way to set up the Rule of Thirds in Photoshop!
You can make a new action for this also -
So, new action, record
-> View
-> New Guide
-> In “Vertical” Box type 33% <enter>
-> View
-> New Guide
-> In “Vertical” Box type 66% <enter>
-> Repeat with the Horizontal Box.
-> Stop recording the Action.
Now you should have thirds setup on any document you use this action.
Hide/show them with “View > Extras” (You can make this as an action too)
